The leader of the Massachusetts House said Tuesday that the chamber will reject changes that Governor Charlie Baker proposed for a measure expanding abortion access, describing them as an attempt to âerodeâ the provision lawmakers had passed.
Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, a Winthrop Democrat, said the House is preparing a vote Wednesday on Bakerâs amendment, just days after the Republican governor sent back to lawmakers the closely watched provision. Baker said he particularly âcannot supportâ language the Legislature passed allowing 16- or 17-year-olds to get an abortion without parental consent.
